Composition dependence of the photophysical and photocatalytic properties of (AgNbO3)1−x(NaNbO3)x solid solutions

A series of orthorhombic photocatalysts (AgNbO₃)_1−x(NaNbO₃)_x solid solutions have been synthesized by a solid-state reaction method. The composition dependence of the photophysical and photocatalytic properties of synthesized solid solutions has been investigated systematically. With an increase in the content of NaNbO₃, we found that (1) the lattice parameters decreased; (2) the Nb-O bond length in NbO₆ octahedron reduced; (3) the band gap increased; and (4) the mean particle size decreased while the Brunauer-Emmett-Teller (BET) surface area increased. Photocatalytic activities of the (AgNbO₃)_1−x(NaNbO₃)_x (0?x?0.5) samples were evaluated from gaseous 2-propanol (IPA) decomposition into acetone and CO₂ under visible-light irradiation emitted from blue-light-emitting diodes (BLEDs; light intensity: 0.01 mW cm⁻²). Among all the samples, the (AgNbO₃)_0.6(NaNbO₃)_0.4 sample showed the highest photocatalytic activity.

Copper Nanoparticles on Graphene Support: An Efficient Photocatalyst for Coupling of Nitroaromatics in Visible Light

Copper is a low‐cost plasmonic metal. Efficient photocatalysts of copper nanoparticles on graphene support are successfully developed for controllably catalyzing the coupling reactions of aromatic nitro compounds to the corresponding azoxy or azo compounds under visible‐light irradiation. The coupling of nitrobenzene produces azoxybenzene with a yield of 90 % at 60 °C, but azobenzene with a yield of 96 % at 90 °C. When irradiated with natural sunlight (mean light intensity of 0.044 W cm⁻²) at about 35 °C, 70 % of the nitrobenzene is converted and 57 % of the product is azobenzene. The electrons of the copper nanoparticles gain the energy of the incident light through a localized surface plasmon resonance effect and photoexcitation of the bound electrons. The excited energetic electrons at the surface of the copper nanoparticles facilitate the cleavage of the N O bonds in the aromatic nitro compounds. Hence, the catalyzed coupling reaction can proceed under light irradiation and moderate conditions. This study provides a green photocatalytic route for the production of azo compounds and highlights a potential application for graphene.     

EXPERIMENTAL INVESTIGATION AND COMPUTER SIMULATION ON DYNAMIC BUCKLING BEHAVIOR OF LIQUID-FILLED CYLINDRICAL SHELLS UNDER AXIAL IMPACT

This article reports an experimental investigation on the axial impact buckling of thin metallic cylindrical shells fully filled with water. Low velocity impact tests are carried out by DHR-9401 drop hammer rig. The whole process of dynamic buckling is simulated using LS-DYNA computer code. The consistency between experimental observation and numerical simulation is quite satisfactory. The investigation indicates that quite high internal hydrodynamic pressure occurs inside the shell during the impact process. Under the combined action of the high internal pressure and axial compression plastic buckling occurs easily in the thin-walled shells and buckling modes take on regular and axisymmetric wrinkles.

In situ synchrotron X‐ray diffraction analysis of deformation behaviour in Ti–Ni‐based thin films

Deformation mechanisms of as‐deposited and post‐annealed Ti_50.2Ni_49.6, Ti_50.3Ni_46.2Cu_3.5 and Ti_48.5Ni_40.8Cu_7.5 thin films were investigated using the in situ synchrotron X‐ray diffraction technique. Results showed that initial crystalline phases determined the deformation mechanisms of all the films during tensile loading. For the films dominated by monoclinic martensites (B19′), tensile stress induced the detwinning of 〈011〉 type‐II twins and resulted in the preferred orientations of (002)_B19′ parallel to the loading direction (∥ LD) and (020)_B19′ perpendicular to the LD (⊥ LD). For the films dominated by austenite (B2), the austenite directly transformed into martensitic variants (B19′) with preferred orientations of (002)_B19′ ∥ LD and (020)_B19′ ⊥ LD. For the Ti_50.3Ni_46.2Cu_3.5 and Ti_48.1Ni_40.8Cu_7.5 films, martensitic transformation temperatures decreased apparently after post‐annealing because of the large thermal stress generated in the films due to the large differences in thermal expansion coefficients between the film and substrate.     

UV‐Triggered Surface‐Initiated Polymerization from Colorless Green Tea Polyphenol‐Coated Surfaces

A facile and versatile approach to constructing colorless surface coatings based on green tea polyphenols is reported, which can further act as a photoinitiating layer to initiate radical polymerization. These colorless green tea polyphenol coatings are capable of successfully photografting polymer brushes, and the resulting polymer brush patterns show spatial shape adjustability by masked UV irradiation. Both surface modifications and photografted polymer brushes do not alter the original color of the substrates. This method could be promising for the development of surface modifications.
